    Shanti Sagara tank, created by an embankment with sluice outlet built in 1128, the tank has a history of 800 years. It took three years to construct the massive tank. The tank, which has a water spread of 6,550 acres (2,651Ā ha), has aĀ circumferenceĀ of 30Ā km (19Ā mi). It has a totalĀ drainage basinĀ of 81,483 acres (32,975Ā ha). ItĀ irrigatesĀ 4,700 acres (1,900Ā ha) of land and more than 170 villages are benefited by it. The tank receives theĀ drainageĀ of twenty square miles. All of the drainage pours into theĀ gorgeĀ where it is built (the main stream bearing the name of Haridra, a tributary of the Tungabhadra). TheĀ embankmentĀ is constructed between two hills, and embankment is of no great length; it is around 950Ā ft (290Ā m), but it is of stupendous width (Max 120Ā ft (37Ā m),min 70Ā ft (21Ā m)), height and strength, though not quite straight. The main road connecting betweenĀ ChannagiriĀ andĀ DavanagereĀ pass through on this embankment.[citation needed]Ā It has resisted successfully the floods of centuries, but owing to the great pressure of the volume of the water in tank. It has twoĀ sluices. That to the north is called the "Sidda", and that to the south the "Basava". Notwithstanding the damaged state of the sluices and the great force of the water when escaping through them, the embankment has always remained firm and uninjured, a satisfactory proof of the solidity of the structure. If required (as during drought) the tank can be fed by surplus water fromĀ Bhadra Dam's right bank canal.

    The Asiaā€™s second largest man made lake. Itā€™s flat and depth of 27cm. Now tourism department has developed with boating. But most of the time speed boat operators are missing so roving boats are always available and banana ride is also available. We can try kayaking independently. They will allow swimming for few minutes on paid basis. Itā€™s flat surface water from Bhadra dam. There are eateries for quick bite and most of people carry their food and eat over there. Apparently not so polluted with plastic.

    It is about 18 km away from Channagiri to Davanagere route in Channagiri Taluk. It is said to be the second largest lake built in Asia. Shanthi Sagara also called Sulekere. It is located at sulekere of Channagiri taluk Davanagere. Shanti Sagara tank, created by an embankment with sluice outlets, built in 1128, the tank has a history of 800 years. It took three years to construct the massive tank. The tank, which has a water spread of 6,550 acres, has a circumference of 30 km.It has a totalĀ drainage basinĀ of 81,483 acres (32,975Ā ha). ItĀ irrigatesĀ 4,700 acres (1,900Ā ha) of land and more than 170 villages are benefited by it. The name is derived from "Sule"Ā courtesanĀ and "kere" tank. Sulekere renamed to Shanthi Sagara, where "shanthi" is the first name ofĀ princessĀ Shantava, who constructed this tank. "Sagara" meansĀ Ocean, as this tank is one of biggest tanks inĀ Asia, so the tank is compared to an ocean. It has twoĀ sluices. That to the north is called the "Sidda", and that to the south the "Basava".

    A nice place to hangout for a while or a short picnic. It's located about 17kms from davanagere. It's a vast lake. There is bus connectivity but taking ur own vehicle would save a lot of time and effort. Not much shelter or shops around so carry what u might need. There is also some water sports activities now. Evening or early morning is the best time to be there.

  • 5/5 Guna S. 3 years ago on Google
    Sulekere, the largest tank in Mysore, and the second largest in Southern India, is 40 miles round, and its construction is assigned to the 11th or 12th century. The embankment is of no great length, but it is of stupendous width, height and strength, and has successfully stood the floods of centuries. The legend is that the daughter of a king built the tank as an expiatory act. The remains of a city are pointed out as having been submerged by the tank." A tank is a pool or lake, or an artificial reservoir or cistern, used for purposes of irrigation, and as a storage-place for drinking-water, Southern India.
